Santa Monica Addresses Climate Crisis
Building on early successes, Council adopted the Climate Action & Adaptation Plan on May 28th, setting a goal to achieve an 80% reduction (below 1990 levels) in community carbon emissions by 2030.
The Climate Action section focuses on eight objectives in three sectors:
- Zero Net Carbon Buildings
- Zero Waste
- Sustainable Mobility
The Climate Adaptation section focuses on community resilience to climate change through four sectors:
- Climate Ready Community
- Water Self-Sufficiency
- Coastal Flooding Preparedness
- Low Carbon Food & Ecosystems
Council directed staff to modify the plan to include additional measures and information. A final draft will be released shortly. View the current draft plan here. |

The 15x15 Climate Action Plan, published in February 2013, was developed to meet the City’s target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 15% below 1990 levels by the end of 2015.
It is a short-term, action-oriented plan identifying fifteen measures that, when completed, will achieve our community greenhouse gas emission reduction goal.
